Since 2012 retina models, RAM has been soldered to the mainboard for maximum reliability in portable Macs. Buy what you think you will EVER need, because what BobTheFisherman says is true. No upgrades.

Pay extra for all the memory.

Don't skimp on the SSD either.

This will make your macbook easier to sell used in the future when you are ready to upgrade.


Before you purchase the Mac, be sure to go to an Apple store and compare it with the Macbook Air 15.

I found the Macbook Air was lighter and better than the Macbook Pro 14 for traveling.

I maxed out the memory and the SSD. But you may have a different purpose in mind.
